Slow Going

Running day today. Did my four miles, though the time was unusually slow. Chalk it up to stopping at too many intersections; it was pitch dark out and I was about as reflective as a ninja on the roads, so I was a little more cautious than usual.

But the important thing here isn't so much the time as the effort. These runs are about fat loss foremost. I'm not racing anytime soon. The Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving will be just for the exercise; I'm in no shape to run fast anyway. As long as I keep at the workouts and eat right, things should go well.

Speaking of which, LoseIt! is becoming addictive. My favorite calorie-counting app has the ability to scan a barcode and instantly enter that particular item. It doesn't recognize every bar code, which makes me wonder what directory it's getting its information from in the first place. But it has made it easier to log some foods, and more interesting to log all of them.

Tomorrow's supposed to be a rest day. But with a 5-miler coming on Thanksgiving I think I'll power through my first interval workout tomorrow and put off rest until Friday.
